the world-famous australian reef is providing an effective barrier against 1-induced 3, new research shows. what has developed into the great barrier reef was not always a barrier reef - it was once a fringing reef and did not offer the same protective quality. this is because the coast at this time was much closer to the source of the tsunamis, said lead author of the paper, associate professor jody webster, from the geocoastal research group at the university of sydney.
 
the research shows a shallow underwater landslide occurred 20,000-14,000 years ago, which caused a 2 2-3m high. the tsunami could have impacted aborigines living at the time along 4 and on islands off the paleo-coastline, which has since 5 under the rising sea levels that followed the last ice age.
 
the 7km-wide landslide occurred off the edge of the 6 shelf causing the tsunami on the paleo-coastline lying between airlie beach and townsville in the northern state of queensland. 
 
details of the discovery of the submarine landslide and tsunami were published this week in 7 geology. the international team of researchers used sophisticated computer simulations to recreate what the tsunami would have looked like. 
 
associate professor webster said similar 8 under the sea could occur without our knowledge.
 
"there is a 9 low chance that a similar submarine landslide with the potential to cause a tsunami of up to three metres or more would happen today," associate professor webster said.
